knitting

I'm knitting the cardigan on the cover of the current issue of Vogue Knitting. It's got an interesting structure, the centre circle is knit in rounds, from the middle outwards, then a very long strip with 4 different patterns is knit and attached around the centre circle.

The pattern repeat for the outside is 4 rows, there are approximately 100 pattern repeats to make the whole strip. I'm currently on 33 so about 1/3 of the way, I cast on 6 days ago, Sunday, so my average per day is almost 5 pattern repeats. It would be great to get this done by the time baby arrives, which means I need to keep this rate up and I should make it and have time for construction!
